Matthew 25 reminds us that, in the end, we will each be judged based on how we treated the least important people we meet or hear about. Remember? “Whatsoever you do to the least of these you do to me.” St. John Vianney has several groups that deal specifically with making the world a better place for everyone. Are you called to join one of these ministries?
